Ville, Not Shack
Pros:
Nice tee locations, with benches, concrete pads, and signs, with posts that have two bag-hooks.
Between the online map, weaving-but-natural flow, and the many "next tee" signs, the course was easy to navigate.
Well-maintained park. Attractive mixture of open space and pockets of small/mid-sized trees.

Cons:
Teepads a bit small, maybe 4' x 7'.
Holes 4, 8, 9, and 12 have their pinball moments - especially #4, which is mercifully only 125'.
Griplocking and/or a headwind might bring a road into play, which parallels the right-side of fairways 17 and 18.

Other Thoughts:
The course is set upon very gently-sloping, mostly-open land. Small groupings of various types of trees, including white pines, birches, and maples, are scattered about, and used to define generous (for the most part) throwing lanes.
Being able to throw straight 200'-300', followed by a left-fade of various sharpness, will serve you well, as over 1/3rd of the holes fit that description. About 1/4th of the holes present a tree/bush at about the midpoint of a direct flightpath, forcing the player to decide how to avoid the obstacle while also reaching the basket. A few right-turners, and a few tight holes, round out the fare offered by this course.
About 2/3rds of the holes are < 300' long, but there are a few in the mid-300's, and there is also hole-11: 563', practically wide-open, gently up-slope in its entirety, with five markers placed every 100', which provides you with a rough idea of how far you can throw.
The course should appeal to a broad audience. The overall shorter distances make it playable by any level, and there enough challenges to keep upper players interested.

Pros: I have been waiting to write this review until all 18 holes were open. I have played the course several times to get a good feel for how the full 18 plays and I can say it is a complete course. There is a nice mix of lefty/righty friendly holes. There is also a good mix of open and wooded holes. The course is great to learn on but for the more advanced players, it is also challenging enough to keep it interesting.
Cons: I would say the main issue I have with the course is how heavy and thick the underbrush is on many holes. It helps to play with a group of people in case your shot goes in one of these areas.
Other Thoughts: The level of this course improved dramatically with the addition of the nine new holes. The variety of the holes makes it enjoying and challenging.

Pros: Great new baskets, Nice concrete tee pads, good distance for true par 3 holes (not pitch and putt).
Cons: Hole 8 and 9 too close to the road, an errant disc can hit a car and the driver might not have any idea what the thud was, have heart attack, die.
Other Thoughts: The piece of land the park and course are on looks like recently reclaimed farmland, in that it's covered with trees but none of the trees looks like they are over 15 years old. Just big saplings everywhere. When the trees mature this course will change. Only had 9 holes when I played it, but I rated it as if it were all 18 there.
It's 2013 now and I'm upgrading it from 3.5 to 4 because it was only a 9 hole course when I played it 2 years ago, now 18 holes. It's a 4 all day long.

Cadyville Rocks
Pros: Don't be deceived by the pictures, this course is a place to play. A Nice environment with forgiving hazards (mostly foliage). Honestly this is my favorite so far in the area. Well groomed and cared for. Family friendly (including jogging strollers!)
Accessible for beginners, nice challenge for intermediate/advanced. Free to Play!
Can't wait for the next nine holes!

Cons: Like the others said - still a bit short with the 9 holes, nothing else to bug out about though.
Other Thoughts: compared to other courses in the area, this one is tops. Granted it is quite flat, the lay out and diversity in fairway design makes for a great challenge.

Other Thoughts: This is a really nice, clean course. It is nothing that will challenge a really good player, but it is great at what it is supposed to be. A really nice course for beginners and people that are still learning the game. There are 4 holes over 345', but they are mostly straight with little obstacles. If you are an advanced player you can probably just play putter rounds here.
I'm not sure what the plans for the back nine are, but if they are able to use the available woods and make some challenging holes, this course could be a great place for people in Upstate NY.
There aren't many courses in this part of NY so if you are nearby make a point to go play Cadyville.
Sept 2012 Update - Cadyville now has 18 holes. All holes have nice baskets and pads as well as signs. New layout adds a couple short, very wooded holes that will challenge anyone to sneak a disc through the gap. There is also some additional longer holes on the back 9. #11 is now 563' of mostly open field to the basket with 100 markers along the way. #10 is a cool little 295' blind shot with a basket tucked into some mature pines.
This is still a worthy course, but the design seems to straddle between beginner friendly, and more challenging. Holes 8 and 9 are short technical holes, but seem to lack a great line to the basket. And some of the longer holes have some punishing rough if you can't stay on the fairway. Given the dearth of courses in Northern NY it is nice to have this one, and worth playing if you are up there.

Great Course! 
Pros: This is my first, and only course, and as a beginner, the course is very easy to learn on, yet challenging enough to keep up with improvements in my game. I have had a few chances to talk to and play with the course designer Aric Strauss, and what a blessing that has been! Strauss knows just about all there is to know about the less-than-popular sport, and is a great teacher for beginners.
Cons: The course is not yet complete, having only 9 holes right now, but with the back 9 on its way, there is truly no cons to this course, always a great time!

Pros: Course is brand new, and very nice. Top of the line baskets, with concrete tee pads makes the playing experience very nice. Very well groomed, benches on a couple holes and a good mix of left and right turns. Located at a very nice recreation park, course gets mowed every time the baseball fields get cut. Good course for beginner players since it is not that difficult of a course. I feel that in a few years the course will only get better since trees and shrubs will grow bigger making the coure more challenging. There is also a "practice" basket right at the parking lot to warm up on, a nice addition.
Cons: Only con I can list as of 4/15/10 is that not all 18 holes are in. The first 9 holes are complete, with all tee-pads poured and tee-signs installed. The next 9 holes are being designed as you read this, and the construction will be starting withing the next couple months. This will not effect play of the front 9, course will be open all year long.
